When I was lean and in fighting shape, I used to get told all the time that I looked like Brandon Lee. We were both half Asian, dark hair, same general face shape, same general body type. ---

I’ve been told by a number of people that I have a remarkable resemblance to Christian Bale, specifically the way he looked in American Psycho. I guess this is a good thing :o ---

[QUOTE=bluethree] I also used to get Drew Barrymore a lot. [/QUOTE] I wouldn’t mind getting Drew Barrymore a lot, either _rimshot_ When my hair was longer, people said I looked like Robin Williams or Bill Murray. It happened a lot - 1:30am at Burger King, some guy sees me, gets a big grin, points and yells out “Robin Williams!”. Now that my hair is basically scalp colored I don’t get those comparisons any more, however since both those guys have their hair pretty short I can still see the facial resemblance. ---

People used to tell me that I looked like John Denver. ☹ Once, I was compared to Bob Denver. :mad: I don’t know what is about me and guys named Denver. ---

Several people at work who have seen my photograph from my Navy days (I keep it on a bookshelf in my office) say I looked just like Tom Cruise. Might still, but I am not about to shave off the beard and mustache to find out. ---

Before my hair was blue, people were constantly telling me how much I look and sound like Jeaneane Garofolo. I was watching _Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion_ at work one day and a customer told me that not only did I look and sound like her, but we share a common attitude as well. My sister used to tell me that I resembled Lisa Loeb. The only similarity I could see was that we both wear glasses. ---

My parents looked like John Lennon and Yoko Ono when they were younger. So much so that, as a little kid, I saw Annie Liebowitz’s photo of John and Yoko and asked what mommy and daddy were doing on the cover of _Rolling Stone_ magazine. Also, one time, a woman on a plane asked my mom if she was Yoko. ---

Do you look at all like [Sean](http://seamsters.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/01/sean%20lennon%20is%20single!.jpg) (who I think would be quite cute if he weren’t such a spoiled little entitled douche in interviews and personal appearances [e.g. I have it on best authority from a fan who sited him that Sean was standing outside of his limo waiting for his girlfriend, pulled out a cigarette, and used expletives while yelling at his chauffeur to get out and light it for him]). ---
